That's what a bit of light reading does for you

Right, shite weekend. Started with taking 2 hours to remove the rear wheel nuts yesterday, god knows how but they'd seized up. Well, maybe not seized, but the stupid shitey key you get with the nuts is about 0.5mm off and the nuts all rounded! I have spares thankfully but had to smash a larger allen key in to get them off. Not a good start.

So the 23.5mm tb's are still on but yet to set ride height, cosmetics don't bother me right now as i'm trying to get this bastarding turbo to fit. Cue the angle grinder today...



That should be enough clearance for the housing. It's f*cking huge compared to the T2! Forgot to get comparison pics but i'll get some tomorrow. Still having issues with clearance for the coldside outlet though. It points right at the brake servo, I thought for a minute about bashing it with a hammer but logic (and Niall) got the better of the situation. I think it's more likely i'm going to cut and shut the outlet to point towards the drivers side, downside to that is I need to re-route my FMIC pipework. It never rains...

So for yet another day this is how the car's left:



No wheels, up on stands, engine in bits.. At least one thing got finished today (PS yes I know the brake pad's upside down.. lost the pad fitting L-piece)







WIN PIPE!!
